Full of iconography, our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting facts & perspectives on history & the events that makes London City what it is today. We went on a Sunday, two stops on the journey were closed but this was made up in extra time at other sites and images provided of the closed venues. Overall, very enjoyable! read less Julie4/23/2024A very entertaining guided walk by Arjun A very entertaining guided walk by Arjun who has a deep and extensive knowledge of the subject and of the history and geography of the City of London.

More reviewsA very entertaining guided walk by Arjun who has a deep and extensive knowledge of the subject and of the history and geography of the City of London. I was born in Central London and have worked in the area covered by the tour, but I was unaware of much of that which Arjun discussed and showed me. For example, I was unaware of the existence the London Stone which I used to regularly walk past. I can thoroughly recommend Arjun as a guide. read less Keith9/30/2024 - His knowledge was extensive on esoteric City of London Wow! Arjun didn't fail to deliver.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and, despite it being just the two of us, went out of his way to create a truly personalised experience. It offers an unconventional perspective on the origins of money, exploring the exchange of goods, the rise of interest and debt, and the beginnings of banks and the stock exchange — all intertwined with elements of magic and religion in a mysterious way. If you’re passionate about history and looking for a fresh, unconventional take on London’s past, this is the tour for you. read less Nadia Joos8/09/2025Great Tour and Loved the experience!

The tour guide took us through an in depth history of the City of London teaching us several things I hadn't known before, which was intriguing. The tour was conducted as if the guide was telling a story, rather than just reciting historical information. The sights themselves were for the most part easy on the eye and full of history, including places such as the guildhall art gallery and st Lawrence jewry church. We concluded at the bank of England where the guide explained in depth the symbolism of the twelve ornate lampposts in the square, each one representing one of the twelve most important ancient guilds of the City. Would highly recommend! read less Nico7/01/2024Calling all seekers… A deeply thoughtful investigation into the meaning of symbols and the stories they tell about us —who we are , who we were—from antiquity to present time.

Arjun was truly one of the best guides we’ve ever had—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate from start to finish. He brought the history and mystery of both sites to life in a way that made the entire experience feel special and personal.
He shared stories, answered every question with enthusiasm, and made sure everyone in the group felt included. We walked away not only with beautiful memories, but with a deeper appreciation for these incredible places.
